Amcor Partners with 35 Consumer Goods Companies on Sustainability
Amcor, in partnership with 35 leading companies in the consumer goods industry, will take measures to significantly reduce plastic waste. The supplier and its partners in this coalition will be enforcing two new design rules to deliver packaging that is easier and more cost-effective to recycle.
The first design rule is expected to improve the economic viability of PET bottle recycling by removing colouring pigments and labelling that impact recycling rates. The second design rule will remove materials that are problematic for recyclers from all forms of plastic packaging. By implementing these rules, recycling will become easier, cheaper, more efficient and can scale faster - which will result in less waste leaking into the environment.
